My car died on me yesterday knew my battery was in some rough shape leaking Bulging posts ect. so I replaced it now all my lights and acessories turn on however I can't get it to crank at all I have the stock engine from what I can tell all my fuses are fine any ideas on what could be wrong I've had similar problems with a mustang having a bad starter solenoid however I don't have the faintest idea where that is on my car cuz if I can find it I can start it by bypassing it hopefully

Well i'd start with making sure you can turn it over by hand. If you can get under the car and take off the plastic guards put a 22mm socket on the crank bolt and attempt to turn the engine clockwise. Doing this in Neutral makes it easier. if it turns your in good shape.

Next you can pull the starter and get it tested at autozone or wherever. Or run a heavy gauge wire right from the battery to the starter and see if it clicks or turns over.. its located where google says its located with pics

Check your grounds and make sure you put your new battery on with the 2wires on the positive cable, one goes directly to the starter. I'm assuming you have an auto and cant just push start it and know its the starter..
